Want to experience the complete storyline of the Star Trek Lit-verse during the era of the 24th century television series? This reading list will guide you through it, from the disappearance of James T. Kirk to the death of Data.

These novels expand the adventures of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager (along with their various literary spin-offs) before, during, and after those series, up to the point of Star Trek: Nemesis. Note that the final books in the New Frontier series are grouped at the end, though some events spill over into the post-Nemesis era. The "Shatner-verse" novels were not included in this list.

Note that this list is not in strict chronological order. It stays mostly chronological, but some books have been rearranged to avoid major spoilers and to create more coherent story arcs. For novels that take place after Nemesis, check the Simple Post-Nemesis Reading List.
